The seating inside is called "theater style" because despite the sweeping roof line, the designers have managed to raise the second and third row, allowing Chevrolet Orlando residents get a better view towards the forward and laterally and without compromising head room. Indeed, free space in the third row in Orlando is over a number of competing minivans.
Numerous seating configurations are possible with second and third rows folded independently or together to create a completely flat loading area. The second row is also a laundry facility for both left and right panes side seats that provide easy access for passengers in and out of the third row.

McPherson used for the front suspension with hydraulic cylinders, which are often found in more expensive cars, and provides increased isolation for passengers up and controlled absorption of variable road surfaces.
Advanced in combination with the crank (torsion beam) behind the system is used, because it offers the perfect compromise, the suspension control, combined to save weight and space. Torsion beam system can also be easily adjusted to accommodate different weights of vehicles and engines.
Orlando Chevrolet chassis and body structure were also designed with safety reserves as a key factor. Sixteen-inch ventilated front disc brakes are fitted across the range, with sixteen inch solid rear discs with ABS and electronic acting on the wheels.

Design
A quick look at the new Chevrolet Orlando will immediately say it is a minivan that seeks to break the traditional mold of the family are going to make your own design statement, and certainly set the tone for the design of the future to follow.
They accepted the demands of family vans in the past, it was the obligation to carry seven passengers or large loads incorporate different seating arrangements, often resulting in a box-like design dimensions. With Orlando, turned off the Chevrolet to change that and bring something new and innovative on the market. But doing so would be the Chevrolet design team to their first European MPV instantly recognizable as one of the new generation of Chevrolet, while not compromising on its functionality and usability interior.
"The inspiration came from seeing the Chevrolet Orlando with more traditional models of space so many in Europe," says Kim Taewan Vice President of Planning, GMDAT. "Many of these are one-box models that look very functional. Orlando is a two box design, part SUV, part of the MPV, which exceeds the existing categories, and adopt a very personal crossover.
"We believe there is a large untapped market in Europe for customers in need of such a family vehicle, but want something different and more modern. I am sure that Chevrolet could show the way for such crossover. "
In front of the vehicle's design team has created the face of Orlando, which is a bold and unmistakable new Chevrolet, a dual-port grille body color divided and subdivided into a large Chevrolet bow tie proudly located in the center. "Chevrolet Orlando in front of the chain is a key feature, and is developing the Chevrolet global identity and to provide car showroom appeal," said Kim Taewan.
A sculpted hood with the increase of the center line flows into the front fenders, which themselves are carved with aggressively flared wheel arches, to emphasize Chevrolet "body-in, wheel-out" design philosophy. The characteristics of the clothing Orlando lower body, including a deep front splitter under the bumper section, which houses the fog lights, which contributes to the durability of vehicles, but also increases its SUV style. Taken as a all, Orlando has an assertive attitude resolved when viewed from the front and the front three-quarter.
Chevrolet Orlando is the flagship with its piano black and chrome bezel around the dish and flashing headlight for linear, it gives a high-end.
The side profile is characterized by a sloping shoulder line that starts at the top of the front wheel arch and the length of the vehicle taillights. Combined with the exploration of roofline tapers back to provide distinctive silhouette of Orlando and contribute to its sporty on the road. Functional unbroken side windows means maximum visibility in any row occupants are seated.
Orlando is behind a series of features that will present the recent project of the Chevrolet, between the rear lights rear lights that are developing Split function. Center mount fog lights, who sits on the section of the rear bumper is as unique as the Chevrolet Orlando.
Viewed from behind the screen, the designers refer to Orlando as the body of his "biggest reason the square" - in other words, designed to give the impression of solidity and endurance sport utility vehicle.
Within the muscular wheel arches sit 16 inches, 17 or 18, depending on trim level and options chosen. The entry-level wheel is a steel wheel with an attractive 16-inch wheel cover with six spokes, easily confused with an alloy of all but the closest distance. All other variants are equipped with alloy wheels as standard 16 or rim diameter of 17 inches and equipped with 215 / 60R (16 inches) or 225/50R profile tires. Supermodel LTZ can be ordered with the optional 18-inch 5-spoke alloys shod with Bridgestone Potenza tires 235/45R.
One objective of the final performance of the Chevrolet Orlando was the driver and passengers enjoy comfort level Sedan combined with style and versatility crossing of an MPV. Therefore, the pilot environment is the sedan's appearance and feel and some of the design elements used on the Cruze.
A number of properties are instantly recognizable when you climb inside, like the Chevrolet console "waterfall" center form and double cockpit interior, highlighted by the panel of butterfly wing double, going from door to door in the dashboard, through the central tunnel and along the banks of the passenger compartment forward. The wraparound style, where the dash flows into the door trim are now part of the design language for Chevrolet.
Speed ??dials are guards received and expenditures that have a strong sporty look, while an integrated IP-PBX is a harmonized appearance of the center console and the console. Chevrolet Orlando is the last to use the V-shaped pattern on the wheel, which is everything but the basic features of the models to cut the level of audio and infotainment controls.
One of the wow factor in the cabin, surrounding the blue backlight for the center console that comes with later versions trim Taewan Kim said. "This style of lighting in the cabin gives the impression of high technology and sophisticated - something that was central to the objectives of the design team - but without losing any of the emotions associated with external crossover design.
"We're also excited about some of the interior color combinations will be available. We believe that will appeal to the public elementary Orlando, young families, will actually be."
There are some differences in the colors and textures used on parts of the interior to differentiate trim levels. LS entry level is finished with a silver instrument panel center console and the wing door, sounds black, and the center console and flat fabrics for seats, walk to the LT and the cabin receives a brilliant (or piano) black finish on the dashboard wing, a leather steering wheel (with audio controls) and a cloth-type mesh for seats at the top of the line LTZ models also feature a special silver console door piano black finish and more about the audio and climate controls, more infotainment screen and the option for leather.

"The role of attitude" is the new Chevrolet Orlando capture descriptive phrase, and it is no coincidence that the "function" of the word comes first. Orlando undoubtedly provide a new approach to the look and arrogance MPV segment with its extroverted exterior design. But it is much deeper than the skin, confident that Chevrolet has created a real family car of today, where the design does not compromise the functionality and ease of use, as evidenced by his seven-seat practicality, flexibility and generous space inside Storage and cargo space.
Orlando Chevrolet drivers will appreciate the ergonomics study.

The central section of the plant, Chevrolet Orlando has a high strength frame in which the second bank is in place and that students of more than 4 inches (41 mm) mm above the driver's seat and passenger. Stepping back, the floor rises to Section C-pillar (and between lines 2 and 3) before stabilizing to accommodate the third row and a rear cargo area. A reinforced frame installed inside the apartment, home of the bench seats of two thirds, which means a high position in the second row.
In addition to providing visibility throughout the passengers, making it possible for theater tickets easy, especially for parents when child seats and young children is in the second row because it minimizes any bending awkward or affected.
There may be frequent opportunities when owners do not have all the Orlando seven seats and a number of alternative seating configurations can be arranged quickly and easily.
Perhaps the most common would be to fold the third row for up to five passengers and increasing the volume of cargo area to 458 liters. By folding flat in the second and third rows of the rise of the trunk, so it is one of the largest in the compact MPV class of 856 liters. And from 2013 earnings front passenger from similar features, so it can be folded to create a 'table space for the driver. Even with the third row seat in place, Orlando has a 89 liters of usable space.
The two seats to the left and right outside the second row have an easy time machine - in fact, doubled twice for the backrest and seat cushion as a butt of the unit against the back seat of the driver or passengers - for easy access in and out of the third row.
Once all occupants of the Chevrolet Orlando are safe in their seats, they benefit from the leg and head inside the space is very competitive with other vehicles in the area. Legroom front passenger and the driver is generous to 1034mm, while the room the second row passengers stage is 917 mm Orlando among the most spacious in its class. Authorization for the front 1020mm and is the second row, 983 mm, while the third row passengers will enjoy 945 mm of free space, one of the best in its class, even with the roof outside Orlando exploration.

A special rear-view mirror, which is tailored to the headliner, and is located just above the rearview mirror normal, allows parents to maintain control from behind your eyes off the road.
Ride and Handling
Using the acclaimed hatchback Chevrolet Cruze as a basis, the new Chevrolet Orlando was a great start in life, when it comes to lead and manage. Cruze is the first of several new Chevrolet models, using the platform of the company's latest development, which is tight, responsive steering and body control, but compliant ride, well suited to European tastes. So, the car is a real pleasure to drive.
Who says that drivers and occupants of a family van / truck should not enjoy the benefits that the same dynamics? Of course, waiting for a new family car is also one of the highest standards of security, so that Orlando, the requirement was to achieve the dynamic qualities while sacrificing nothing in terms of active safety.
At the heart of Orlando completed the manipulation is an integral part (BFI) which is one of the most rigid in the compact van. A rigid body structure, such as the Chevrolet Orlando is the basis for a sense of strength and stability when on the road.
With the structure of the BFI, the upper body and chassis have been designed as a single component, allowing much greater torsional rigidity. An isolated engine cradle is used to mount the engine and also helps refine the Orlando and isolation of noise and vibration in the cabin.
Orlando footprint is large with a wide track (front 1584mm, 1588mm rear), which compared to the wheelbase (2760mm), resulting in the inherently stable and predictable handling on the road.
While the suspension set-up for Chevrolet Orlando is essentially conventional, it has some clever details to improve ride and handling. At the front McPherson struts are used with side-load compensation, which reduces friction caused by bending loads in compression. Side-load compensation also allows the front wheel to be moved outward again, improving the appearance and stability.
The strut front suspension uses a spring with a unique design for better shock absorption Road, hydraulic ride bushings and front control arms - a feature normally found only in higher-end vehicles - the results of further refinement and isolation of the road irregularities.
Control arms are made of lightweight aluminum to reduce weight further and help a crisp, responsive feel.
The rear suspension is an advanced composite crank (torsion bar) is designed with a double-walled U-shaped profile The system offers a good balance of ride control, combined with considerable savings in weight and space.
A key difference between Orlando and made other arrangements crank torque design is a patented "magnetic arc" welding process used to attach the beam to the following links. This technology allows the thickness of the torsion beam attachment to the various and different angles between the beam and the following links. These variables allows the setting of rolling speed and guide the deployment of features based on various engine and vehicle weight. The intensive development of characteristic torsion the beam has also led to an increase in rear wheel steer effect, further improving the responsiveness of the chassis.
Orlando compact design on the rear axle helps lower center of gravity. This treatment improves and fuel tank capacity 64 liters can be equipped with Nice and low between the wheels.
Rack and pinion steering is power steering (electrically assisted gasoline 1.8-liter) and was nominated for responsiveness, with much of the downtown feel and feedback to the driver. The controller is designed to be responsive, with less than three turns at the wheel lock to lock needed, the turning radius is a relatively tight 11.3 feet.
The steering column is adjustable for both reach and rake with an angle of plus or minus 2.4 degrees.
Orlando Chevrolet chassis and brake system were also designed with safety reserves as a key factor. Disc brakes are fitted throughout - 300 mm ventilated discs in front and 292 mm solid discs at the rear, together with a single piston.
The system is equipped with a brake lining asbestos free organic, which improves the rate of lining wear, reduces noise and brake pedal feel improves the driver. The rear hand brake (or parking brake) is a cable driven.
Antilock brakes (ABS) in Orlando is a four-wheel uses information from sensors, wheel speed to regulate individual braking on each wheel to reduce stopping distances to a minimum while maintaining stability and steering control under hard braking. Orlando braking power, emergency braking is further enhanced with hydraulic brake assist (HBA).
To the rear brake, or distribution is controlled by a part of the ABS, electronic brake distribution (EBD), and uses independent control on the rear for improved stability and braking, cornering and ensures effective use of rear brakes under heavy loads.
Traction Control System (TCS) is standard equipped with plenty to keep unwanted driver bay and when road conditions are wet or slippery. It uses both brake and engine torque intervention to enhance adherence to start and acceleration in all driving conditions. The ABS electronic control unit detects impending wheel slip and signals the electronic control unit to adjust the engine torque as a result, the system detects when the wheels turn faster than the speed of the car and apply temporarily one of the front brakes.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in collaboration with TCS, uses both the ABS and TCS functions to provide an additional level of active safety in the standard chassis Chevrolet Orlando. It provides greater accuracy, control anti-lock braking against the law, any misjudgment by the driver. ESC uses an accelerometer sensor data and sensor orientation angle lateral direction to help ensure that the vehicle follows the direction of the front wheels. Can be applied to individual brakes selectively to control oversteer and understeer especially in extreme maneuvers.
Three wheel sizes are available depending on model and options selected, ranging from 16 to 18 inches. Standard tire size and wheel rim are 215/60R 16-inch x 16-inch wheels and 225/50R 17 x 17. A large 18-inch wheels are optional on LTZ models with sizes 235/45R x 18.
Security
Young families with a primary audience for the new Orlando, safety is sure to be high on the list of all owners, a priority for both the driver and occupants. Security is evident in a number of ways in a new vehicle through various active and passive features, but also in materials and processes used in vehicle construction.
Chevrolet has gone to a considerable extent, so that the Orlando meets all the criteria for being one of the safest compact space on the market.
Body Chevrolet Orlando, frame integral (BFI) structure, in which the upper body and chassis is constructed as a single component provides a high degree of rigidity. The torsional rigidity of the body-chassis interface will not only put a smile on the face of any driver through amazing handling of the case of Orlando is also exceptionally strong, with over 70% of the steel body high strength.
Chevrolet Orlando, the interior is reinforced all around, including A and B pillars, the cross section that supports the roof and along the lower frame sections. Residents made to sit inside a safety cage designed to minimize the intrusion in the case of a frontal collision, side or rear impact, while the deformation zones front and rear designed to absorb and disperse the energy to minimize the impact of the cab.
High-strength steels and aluminum is used in all key sectors of the construction of the car. With a front surface of a vehicle particularly vulnerable, Orlando has a sturdy but lightweight aluminum crash box bumper beams, which sits in front of the engine cradle, a high-strength steel is used in longitudinal bars and the front subframe . The energy is absorbed by these points and evenly along the load paths, including two load path of the vehicle platform, which will channel energy away from the passenger compartment.
The support used in the motor home and located inside the front subframe has good energy absorption properties of the structural foam that helps dissipate the effects.
Special attention is also given to the side structure of the body section so that the B-pillar where it joins the lower section of the sill and a member of the Red Cross headquarters on the floor, is particularly strong, and designed to distribute loads securely around the frame of the body.
At the rear of the vehicle, another reinforced frame is used as the base that protects the fuel tank and its connections with the penetration in the case of a rear impact. The tank itself is able to withstand without breaking small cuts.
Comfort levels of cabin safety
Orlando long list of standard equipment includes a full range of passive safety inside the vehicle.
All cars are equipped with six airbags, twin front, side and curtain (or roof rails), the airbags. Side airbags are mounted on the outer edge of the driver and passenger, and provides protection to cover the regions of the pelvis and thorax of a side impact.
The curtain airbag system is attached above the pillars and C, which has a capacity of 28 liters when fully inflated and if enabled provides protection for the occupants of the head in the first and second rows. A number of measures were taken with the front airbags to minimize airbag-induced injuries, including how they are packaged and double and a single optimal rate of inflation. The passenger airbag can also be turned off when the seat is used.
Chevrolet Orlando ringside seat belts equipped with pretensioners and force limiters and height adjustment. The latter offers more comfort and ensures that the belt is always installed correctly on your body. All seven seats are equipped Orlando head restraints help prevent whiplash in the event of a rear shunt.
Pedal Release System, or a collapsible pedals, is still a useful function and protects the driver's feet and legs in front of the impact of the collapse of the driver's foot well.
Mark ISOFX are provided for child seats. Two anchors of steel between the backrest and seat cushion, and even greater attachment, which is equipped to accommodate the means to return child seats can be installed very well.
One of the biggest challenges often faced by emergency services to help the scene to help residents of a case of the vehicle when the doors are closed. This is not the scenario that faces the owners of Orlando, Orlando has a crash sensor technology, which ensures that the doors automatically unlock the impact.
In addition to the above features can be found inside many of the latest technologies used in the Chevrolet Orlando active safety systems - those that work with your skin, as part of the chassis of the vehicle and have a great impact in the security credentials of the vehicle .
Anti-lock brakes (ABS), traction control (TCS), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA), and electronic stability control (ESC) are standard on all cars and used between the parallel platform to give a high level of security Orlando. Detailed information on how systems work See Chapter ride and handling.
Engines
Last Transmission Chevrolet seems to offer the speed with which the company is developing and improving its engines. Several new and important engine of development are being introduced, and 2011 model year, Cruze and Orlando.
At launch, the Chevrolet Orlando customers can choose from three engines, one petrol and two diesel engines. Each offers the latest performance potential and fuel efficiency. All engines are transversely mounted four-cylinder with common characteristics, including dual overhead camshafts, 16 valves and fuel injection or multi-point, or in case of diesel engines, common rail technology.
All motors are manufactured in cast-iron block and alloy cylinder head, where the remains of the weight savings are made.
One of gasoline is a sensitive, fuel-injected 1796cc unit with variable valve timing of the power and torque of a wider rev range. Variable valve timing to reduce emissions, for great is the EGR system and improve fuel consumption.
1.8-liter produces an impressive 141 horsepower and strong 6200RPM pulling 176Nm of torque 3800 rpm, 85%, which is available at 2000 rpm. Specific engine power per liter is 78.3. This naturally aspirated 1.8-liter engine is also fuel consumption combined cycle 7.3 and 172g/km emissions liter/100km. It meets Euro 5 emissions class.
Orlando maximum speed with a gasoline engine is 185kph with a time of 0 to 11.6 seconds of 100kph, when combined with a manual 5-speed standard.
Traction
Diesel engines are expected to be a popular choice among the owners of Orlando, and these engines have a number of technical improvements that are introduced into the entrance of the new Chevrolet. Both engines have the same 1998cc engine capacity and share the same technology, but two powers are available.
The heart of each is a 16-valve 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with cast iron block and aluminum cylinder head, which is equipped with a dual overhead cam (DOHC). Chevrolet Orlando advanced system common rail injection, maximum firing pressure in the combustion chamber is 180 bars of pressure, resulting in improved fuel economy and lower emissions.
Chevrolet Improvements include a variable swirl intake "manifold system, which improves the performance of both versions of diesel engines.
In the case of version higher output, peak power 163 hp at 3800rpm, while maximum torque is 360 Nm at 2000rpm. For the engine to the standard output is both power and torque of 130 hp at 3800rpm and 315nm at 2000rpm.
Coupled to the gearbox 6-speed manual standard, the performance figures of Orlando with two versions of diesel engines are impressive. The 130 hp version has a top speed of 180kph and 100kph reached a plateau at 10.3 seconds. The 163 hp engine has a top speed of 195kph and 100 km in 10.0 seconds achieved.
In-gear for both the 163 hp engine is 12.2 seconds to accelerate from 40 to 100kph (fourth speed) and 11.0 seconds to accelerate from 80 to 120 km (5th). Both the 130 hp version is 12.7 seconds in accelerating speed of 40 to 100kph (fourth speed) and 11.4 seconds from 80 to 120 km (5th gear).
Fuel economy and emissions are common to the two engines of 6.0 litres/100 km in combined cycle with emissions of 159 g / km, the Euro 5 engines.
The joy of six
The gasoline engine 1.8-liter comes with a manual transmission 5-speed, and two diesel engines have a six-speed transmission. But the 163 hp high-performance version of the diesel engine is also available with Chevrolet six-speed automatic transmission.
The automatic transfer is of good quality electronics and adaptive control and away from each other indicators of short first gear, to ensure effective take-off from standstill and the Top Gear as long as the fuel economy on the road.
Self diesel Orlando show some good mid-range thrust, as official figures confirm the results: the figures in gear acceleration from 40 to 100ph is just 9.0 seconds, while the time from 80 to 120 km is 8.4 seconds 0 to 100kph is 11.0 seconds.
Since it is expected that automatic, fuel economy and emissions are slightly increased liters/100km manual on the 7.0 and 186 g / km.
Chevrolet Orlando customers to choose an engine and trim combinations. For example, the 1.8 petrol is available on all finishes, 2.0 130 hp diesel engine is available in LS and LT trim, high-power 163 hp version, with either manual or automatic transmission, can be ordered with options LT and LTZ trim.
Chevrolet Orlando owners are pleasantly surprised by the bay "secret" behind the front of the audio chain, and within easy reach for both driver and passenger. This ingenious feature, which has remained faithful to the original concept car, turns out to be easily raised the face of the sound. It 'large enough for items such as an MP3 player, sunglasses and wallets.
Within the space itself is a standard connector and optional extra USB port for MP3 or iPod connectivity, depending on equipment level.
Maybe not all the parts storage can be just as brilliant, but it is simply useful. On the front to save the driver and front passenger fishing around pockets or door pockets for loose change, there is a piggy bank built into the base elongated center console. The console also has two cup holders and a compartment between the large belt buckles, which has a retractable sliding cover.
Balconies at the front are big enough to take a water bottle and a series of short, while the rear also has a bottle holder integrated. Orlando area a spacious additional room charge, he showed by turning a cap built into the floor of the cargo area where it meets the edge of the rear bumper, and two triangular space is behind the wheel.
Finally, keep an eye on what happens in the second or third row of seats is not easy, if you're the driver or front passenger. But now, thanks to the rear wall of the conversation mirror Orlando, you really can not have eyes in the back of the head. A special rear-view mirror, which is tailored to the headliner, and is located just above the rearview mirror normal, allows parents to maintain control from behind your eyes off the road.
